2016 (6) TMI 1132 - HC - Income TaxGrant of stay - recovery proceedings - Held that:- From the averments made in the affidavit filed by the petitioner as well as the proceedings of the Commissioner of Income Tax Appeals it is evident that the hearing of the appeals have been concluded and all that is to be done is to pass an order. The learned Standing counsel for the respondents/Department, on instructions, submitted that orders will be passed within a period of eight weeks.Therefore, this Court is of the view that it would be inequitable to vacate the interim orders, which have been in force for almost 2 1/2 years in the first writ petition and for about 1 1/2 years in the other writ petitions, at this stage of the matter, especially, when the appeals filed by the petitioner have been finally heard and orders are to be passed shortly. In the light of the fact that the appeal petitions filed against the orders of assessment have been heard and orders are to be passed by the Commissioner of Income Tax Appeals, which according to the respondents, will be passed within a period of eight weeks, no action for recovery or no other coercive action shall be taken against the petitioner, pursuant to the impugned orders. Further action by the respondent department shall abide by the orders to be passed by the Commissioner of Appeals, in the appeals which have been filed by the petitioner.
